Hats, Hats, Hats, Wonderful Hats
Colonial Williamsburg honored Armed Forces Day with a three day celebration of fifing and drumming. Hosted by the Colonial Williamsburg Fifes and Drums, corps visited from the U.S. and Canada for three days of marching and performing.
At the Colonial Williamsburg Booksellers I met Julia, aged nine, from the Middlesex County 4-H Fifes and Drums from Boston. In addition to fifing, Julia is also learning to play the base drum.
Fifers and drummers preserve the stirring music of the era of the American Revolution and they get to wear wonderful hats!
